Born on May 7, 1998?

Mercury, Venus and Saturn were all in Aries, so everyone born that day carries a strong Aries streak alongside their Taurus Sun. The Sun and Mars sat 1 degrees apart in Taurus, a close conjunction shared by every chart from that day.

Planet signs are only part of the picture. Your rising sign changes about every two hours and the Moon moves half a degree an hour, so your exact birth time and place decide your houses, angles and Moon degree.
